ROFL!!! That's hilarious and SO stupid!
I'll call the next one: Scot, middle name: Rail
Coz I use the trains a lot and think they are nice. Or what about Sanyo? I really like my Sanyo TV.

How did you do that smiley link???

My english teacher told me about twins she taught when she worked in the US Deep South whose names where pronunced Marley and Femarley. She asked the mother why she chose such unusual names for them and she said that the hospital had named them. It was apparently on their wristband: Male and Female Hopkins....

Scary but true.

Mooncup.

Or what was that leghair product that Twinkie sent for? Nads?

Actually, Nike would be a pretty good name, if it weren't such a big brand, already. It's a Goddess, orginally, no?

Can you imagine calling your little boy "Smeg" after the trendy fridges, though? Or "Arga" for a girl?

lol Blu!

What about just calling the next one Baby? My ds's hospital wristband said Baby XXXXXX on it. Well, obviously it didnt say XXXXXX, but you know what I mean.

Isn't Cileste the name of an oral contraceptive???

How about Durex for a little boy?

I'm hoping its the spelling I mean there's Celeste Holm and Babars Celste... so its the spelling right, its a french/latin name. Am feeling horribly paranoid now.

I like Celeste!

I swear to god there was a girl from my hometown called Pocahontus! She'll probably be about 15 now, poor thing.

Carry on though, I'm not mortally offended or anything, just extremely paranoid

Just looked it up in the BNF, Cilest is a combined oral contraceptive. So different spelling

Pie - Sorry mate! I was taking the pi$$ out of the contraceptive - it's the one I use. No offence meant love (Didn't realise it was a real name though)

I once worked with a girl called Terainer (sp?). Apparantly her Mum worked in Portuagal when she concieved and named her after TV programme about outdoor persuits or something. Odd.

At work we have a client called Piper. Personally I love the name but noone else does!
